2023 PFL 5 video: Renan Ferreira scores frightening first-round KO over Matheus Scheffel

Renan Ferreira Matheus Scheffel PFL PFL 5 (Event)

Don’t mess with Renan Ferreira.

The PFL heavyweight fighter proved once again why he’s one of the scariest and most dangerous fighters of the promotion’s 2023 season. At Friday’s 2023 PFL 5 at Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta, Ferreira (10-4) scored a brutal KO of Matheus Scheffel (17-11) just 50 seconds into their contest.

With this result, Ferreira advanced to the 2023 PFL heavyweight playoffs, while Scheffel saw himself out of the season.

You can watch the KO in the video below:
